Episode 3- The Trap of People-Pleasing Leadership

In this episode, Rick and Brad explore the leadership trap of people-pleasing—how the desire to be liked can become a form of disordered love that weakens leadership.

They discuss why healthy leaders must learn to disappoint people wisely, make courageous decisions, and resist taking responsibility for others’ emotional reactions.

Listeners are invited to practice leading with clarity, conviction, and care without rescuing, defending, or avoiding discomfort.
